At the oouclusion of tho dinner,
President Dixon introduced tho speak
ers, prefacing tHe introduction with a
statement of phases of work which tho
Chamber of Commerce is doing or will
to during tho present year, thus giving
some insight as to what members may
oxpect ns a result of their contribu
tions to the budget of the organization.
President Dixon first ' introduced
Miss Anna Kramph who Injected her
customary vigor into her talk along
tho lines of casting off Indifference and
waking up to the needs of a city of
10.000 Inhabitants; that each one luis
a part in providing those things which
we need to make a bigger and better
town.

and hor address demonstrated that she
is a very, bright woman, and fully
competent to handle tho duties of the
position sho occupies. Mrs. Kroger

tions along that Uno, and tolling of tho
assistance tho woman's club of Kear
ney Is to the chamber of commerce, of
that city. '

The object of entertaining tho ladles

terest in tho talks made and it is prob
able, that thoy stand ready to do all

Tlrt Finger Nail's History.
The rapidity of the growth of the
nails is Indicative of tho health. Tho
growth of the nulls on the right hand
Is In most people more rnpld than of
those on tho left hand. Another curi
ous point Is that the rate of growth of
tho nail depends directly on the length
of the finger; thus the nails on the two
middle fingers of nn grow more rap
Idly than those or. the first and third
fingers respectively, and these In turn
are more speedy In the growth thnn
those on the little finger.
